March 03, 2026  -  User Showcase Song: Digging a hole

Shortly after my previous song, I had another idea for a new one. I'd never experienced anything like it so quickly.
While I was creating it, writing the lyrics, and practicing the vocals, I let Marty listen to it too.
It turned out to be a nice song, but something was missing. So I came up with the daring idea of ​​adding orchestral chops. At first, I was hesitant about whether that would work, and Marty thought the chops were a bit distracting. Then I increased the tempo and changed the arrangement a bit. Well, the rest is this song. I also made a YouTube video for it. I'm curious to hear your reaction.
Oh, and of course, there's a political element to it again. I just wrote that to Andrew of the Antipodes.
The lyrics are on SoundCloud and YouTube. The guy with the guitar on YouTube is me...
Enjoy!
